Queen Victoria School farewelled the first group of soldiers from the Indonesian Military today after the completion of the rebuilding of classrooms, double storey dormitory and the school Chapel.
According to QVS Vice Principal Elemaca Ravulo they will be leaving next Monday.
Ravulo says they are ever grateful to the Indonesian government for providing them a safer and secure environment of learning.
Queen Victoria School was adopted by the Indonesian government after it was badly damaged in Cyclone Winston under the Fijian Government’s Adopt A School Program.
Ravulo says constructions started as soon as they arrived on May earlier this year and has finished with the just a few more small maintenance works left.
He says they were in the final stages of reconstruction work at the beginning of this month and now they are just left with only the finishing part like the electrical wiring, desk and chairs.
Ravulo adds the Indonesians contractors are still in the country to finish whatever that is left to be done.
The second group of military personnel will be arriving soon in the country to continue other works.
